Reaper’s Pledge
The Reaper’s Pledge is a pledge of service to a mortal in exchange for Glamour.
Overview
In return for performing some task on behalf of the mortal, the changeling asks for some cheap, token gift. The nature of the gift is irrelevant — what is important is the Glamour that comes of the deal. Capturing the imagination and sense of wonder involved in these deals with mortals reaps a sweet Glamour that tastes of Spring and innocence. For each day that the changeling performs the agreed-upon task during the duration of the pledge, he gains a point of Glamour when he takes up the mortal’s token.
The Vow
— Let our prosperity be joined. The sweat of my brow shall be your riches; the depth of your gratitude shall be my power. For one week, this is our vow. May thy wealth dry up if you are untrue; may fortune rise against me if I am. This we swear.
— A favor for a favor. I’ll get things done for you this week, you just give me a little something to indicate we’re still friends. If you can’t do that much, then you’ll be all the poorer.
